Hardware BOM

Note: If you are doing this with ISC, we already have this hardware available.

Kart

est. cost: $200

We use the Traxxas Slash as our platform. Unfortunately, it seems like it may no longer be available, so any brushed Traxxas RC car should also work. The slash was chosen for its size, but other RC cars should also be reasonable. The only part of the codebase that depends on the RC car is the ESC control, which we've found to not be portable to some other brand ESCs in the past. It may be portable with some work, however.

Note that you will also need a 2s LiPO.

LiDAR

est. cost: $100

We use the LD06 for our LiDAR. The driver will only work with this.

Nucleo

est. cost: $30

We use the STM32 H723ZG nucleo as our microcontroller. Pretty much any H7 should work, although pins may need to be reassigned.

Because we use the HAL in the background, some headers would need to be changed to use other series boards, like F4 or something. Porting to non-ST boards will require re-writing the logger.hpp and dma files.

Misc.

You should also have:

• A breadboard or something similar
• Some male to male jumper wires
• A micro usb cable
